And to answer your question from the last blog..like what did I get in my package....well nothing. The package never came. I don't know why or what happened and have never heard but that's okay because it must have been something big for a swap sister to just go AWOL! That's really okay with me and I just prayed a lot for her and her circumstances that may have been beyond her control. Besides, these were material things and as nice as it is to get a present and have something new, it is better to have compassion and understanding for our sisters, right?<br />
<br />
On to fast forward! This latest swap was entitled Some of our Favorite Things! Well here is a picture of my favorite things wrapped up in fat quarters and ribbon:<br />

So here is what I sent her: Starting in the back and going left to right, 2 quilt magazines, a handmade Redwork Christmas ornament of a snowman, a packet of 6 coordinating fat quarters with a pack of ribbon bows attached, 2 packs of Rick Rack one each of red and pink, a package of straight pins with button heads, a blue paper cutter for wrapping paper, a large round box covered with apple fabric and having a pin cushion top containing 3 rolls of grosgrain ribbon in shades of pink all polka dotted, a pink and white bracelet I made in the white box, a matching pair of pink and white heart earrings in blue box, pink magnetic wand for picking up pins with cancer logo, pink zippered bag for notions, and in front, 2 cards of matching pink buttons, one card of gingerbread men buttons and one card of snowmen buttons! It was fun putting all these things I enjoy, together for Sharon and I just hope she enjoys them too!<br />

If I am one of the ones whose package will be late due to circumstances beyond their control, no worries! I am just sitting here at home, sewing away on my own Christmas projects for my family. When it does arrive though, I will let everyone know!

<br />
<br />
<br />
Okay everyone, I've been away for a long while but I'm back now! Here are the answers to the Q's for Shawnee's Secret Santa Swap 2012:<br />
<br />
1. My hobbies are sewing, quilting, cooking, baking and crafting of all kinds!<br />
<br />
2. My favorite colors are pink and red!<br />
<br />
3. I collect aprons, fabric and I love all new sewing notions, gadgets and anything related to sewing!<br />
<br />
4. I have no allergies to anything!<br />
<br />
5. I have one Golden Retriever female, Taylor, which I believe was inbred because she is the dumbest Golden we have ever had!....sweet, but oh so dumb!<br />
<br />
6. Coffee, Tea OR Chocolate? Why the "OR"???!!! I love them all! I guess I'd pick chocolate, and always with something in it....nuts, toffee, marshmallow, etc.<br />
<br />
7. What do I like to read? A menu! I'm not much of a reader unless it's a new cookbook or a new book of cute apron patterns!<br />
<br />
8. I normally would prefer cookies over candles but during the holidays its a toss up! Both are gladly welcomed! <br />
<br />
9. My favorite homemade treat at Christmas is Fantasy Fudge off the Marshmallow Creme label!<br />
<br />
10. My favorite holiday tradition is having my children and grandchildren over at my house every Christmas Eve for a big dinner I have cooked and then we all open our presents together after that.<br />
<br />
11. Yes, I believed in Santa as a child until I was 7 and an older child told me there was no Santa. Then I put it all together about the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, etc.<br />
<br />
12. We have opened our presents on Christmas Eve for the past 11 years at my house so that my daughter and son-in-law can go see his dad on Christmas day.<br />
<br />
13. We put up an artificial tree every year so that I can put it up right after Thanksgiving and keep it up through the new year without worrying about dry needles.<br />
<br />
14. Our tree has a homemade theme. Most of our ornaments are handmade from either our children, myself or they are gifts that were made from friends of mine!<br />
<br />
15. My favorite gift to give is always something handmade, specifically for that person with a lot of thought put into it. My favorite gift to receive is anything handmade because I appreciate the time and effort they put into making something for me!<br />
<br />
There is my 2012 Christmas list of sorts!<br />
